Description

Soft, fluffy, and naturally fermented, these sourdough cinnamon raisin English muffins are the perfect sweet breakfast treat—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of cozy cinnamon flavor.


Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 oz (100g) active sourdough starter

  • 2/3 oz (20g) honey

  • 8 1/2 oz (240g) milk

  • 1/4 oz (5g) salt

  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 12 2/3 oz (360g) all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup raisins (soaked in warm water and drained)

  • Cornmeal, for dusting


Instructions

  1. Soak the Raisins:
    Place raisins in warm water and let sit while preparing the dough.

  2. Make the Dough (Evening):
    In a large bowl, mix together the sourdough starter, honey, milk, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in the flour until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. Rest:
    Cover and let the dough rest for 30–60 minutes.

  4. Knead:
    Knead by hand for 10 minutes or with a mixer for 5 minutes. Add the drained raisins during the last 2 minutes.

  5. Ferment Overnight:
    Cover and let the dough ferment at room temperature overnight (8–12 hours) until it has doubled and looks bubbly.

  6. Shape (Morning):
    Lightly flour your surface and gently press the dough to ¾–1 inch thick. Cut 8 rounds using a cookie cutter or glass. Place on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet.

  7. Second Rise:
    Cover and let rise for about 1 hour, or refrigerate after 30 minutes to delay cooking.

  8. Cook:
    Heat a skillet over medium-low. Sprinkle cornmeal into the pan, then cook 4 muffins at a time, covered, for about 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
